"It's my own decision-making mistake, and it has nothing to do with your second brother, as for Ji Fa's rebellion......... The matter has come to this, what's the use of pursuing this?" Di Xin pulled Ji Sheng who was lying on the ground up, and beckoned to Bigan: "Let's go, the three of us brothers haven't been together for a long time, let's go"

The two of them were half-pushed by Di Xin into the tent of the Chinese army, and then asked: "Bigan, how did you escape from Luzhou?"

When he mentioned this, Bigan was furious, and he slashed Ji Sheng with his eyes and talked about how he had escaped. "A few days ago, the rebels broke through the north of Luzhou, and the people under my command fought to the death. Eventually, I was sent to the king, and my brothers died. ”

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Ji Sheng's collar and asked hatefully one after another: "Why, why did you rebel, why did they rebel? Could it be that the king did not treat you well enough? The king allowed you to inherit the title of your father, the Marquis of Xibo, and also expanded the territory of many fiefs for you. If it weren't for the great king's power to disregard the opposition of the ministers of the court and the central government, he spent countless manpower and material resources to build the Grand Canal, and you Xiqi encountered a drought, and I don't know how many people would have died. Moreover, you are my second brother, the king is our eldest brother, and the three of us are righteous brothers! Even if you ignore the general interests of the country and our brotherhood, have you forgotten them? Are you really the kind of person who is ungrateful and will take revenge?"

Ji Sheng knew that even if he said anything now, he couldn't save everything. Because now the Xiqi army is pressing the border, conquering two-thirds of the land of Yin, unifying Yin, and changing the dynasty, it is only a matter of time.

"Hehe, Bigan, what you said is right, I am an ungrateful person! The reason why I formed a brother with you is because I deliberately approached you so that I could get key information. I hate you, especially you, Dixin. Your father killed my grandfather and grandmother, and every time I pretend to talk to you intimately, I feel sick. What kind of thing are you, if you weren't born in a royal family, you'd be nothing. What else is the abolition of slavery and the construction of the Grand Canal, you are not qualified to sit in the position of the lord of the Yin country. And you, Bigan, what kind of thing are you, at best, just a slave, a beast-like thing, what qualifications do you have to call me a brother? Tell you, Di Xin doesn't look down on you at all, and the reason why he calls you a brother is just because he thinks you are an obedient dog. Your brotherhood is nothing more than wishful thinking. Hahaha, it's not in vain that I'm Xiqi, I've been plotting for generations, and now I finally have a result. Soon, my son will attack Chaoge, and in the future, this Yin country will be our Xiqi. Oh no, perhaps, it should be called Qi Country. You sluts, just wait......."

Ji Sheng's laughter stopped abruptly, Di Xin slapped him hard, and asked sharply, "Ji Sheng, is what you said true?"

"You dying man, you dare to hit me, you should die! You should die!" Ji Sheng's face twisted.

"What a Ji Sheng, you're really good, I'm ......"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, there is no need to be angry with such a wolf-hearted man. Show him to the public, so that the three armies may be commanded. Bigan held up the trembling Di Xin and suggested.

"Take him to death row, choose a day, and put him to death!" Di Xin said this, his face turned pale, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Goodbye, big brother......" Ji Sheng was dragged down from side to side and said in his heart.

.........

When they had eaten and drunk, the slaves gathered together and began to savor the smell of meat that haunted them.

"I didn't expect the meat to be so delicious, I only ate it today. One of the slaves patted his swollen belly with his oily hands. He still said, "Help me up, I can eat a few more pieces." ”

"Whatever you eat, there is no meat on the table now, you have eaten it all. His friend sneered: "With your current amount of food, I'm afraid that the lord of the country can't afford to support you." ”

"What's that? Our king..... The slave was about to say something, but he was involved in a deep wound on his body, and he gasped in pain. Only then did he realize that there was such a huge wound on his leg that he could even see Sensen's white bones. "What is this wound? When did I get hurt?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, as if he had stirred up some chain reaction, the others covered their wounds and wailed. Before, because of the temptation of meat, the slaves just bandaged it casually after collecting the troops, and they didn't pay much attention to it at all. I thought it was just a minor injury, just like the injury I suffered from working in the field, and it was harmless. (It's like if you have a bank card with a million in front of you, you will forget about the pain on your body for a while)

"Ahh ”

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"It hurts me, it hurts me, help!"

It was only after they had eaten and drunk that the slaves found that their severed hands and severed feet were all wounded to a greater or lesser extent. Although they have great strength and are braver than the soldiers of Xiqi, they are inevitably injured in battle. Not to mention being injured, even if it is dead, it is normal on the battlefield.

"Is this a war? It's really much more difficult than farming!"

"It hurts, I have never been so seriously injured when I rode my master's horse, and when I stepped on my feet as a stepping stone. ”

"Wait, which of you saw Lao Litou, what about the others? Why, he didn't even attend this celebration banquet?"

At this time, a heavy voice said: "Old Li Tou, when he came back from the battlefield, he was seriously injured and died, he ...... He's dead. ”

"What ??"

The crowd was terrified, they never thought that they would pay the price of their lives for the military merits, official positions, and meat they ate in the king's mouth.

Soon, the crowd fell into a dead silence, and no one spoke.

A young slave touched his bloody ankle in pain, and although he had bandaged it briefly, the wound burst open. He didn't hold back, and said, "Why, in the war, we are so seriously injured? Is the official position that the king said really that important? Is it really necessary to exchange our lives for it?"

"But the king has granted me freedom, and is willing to let us be washed away as slaves!" said one of the young slaves.

Lao Li Tou's friend before his death, Lao Sun Tou, said: "Free body? Hehe, is free body really so important? You see the old man, I, I have been sold to the master's house for more than 70 years, and I am still alive and well? I see, let's give up resistance and let the king fight by himself." We're still honestly slaves, just like ever, how good. ”

"This ......." After listening to the words of the old grandson, the others were a little moved, they were basically born slaves, and the chains around their necks, like shadows, accompanied them for most of their lives. Even if Di Xin really ordered them to take off their chains and become ordinary people, they would really be a little reluctant for a while.

Seeing that everyone was a little moved, the young slave couldn't sit still, and he said, "However, the king will let us eat rare meat!"

At the sight of the word meat, the crowd fell silent again, knowing that if they did not fight, they would never have a chance to taste the tender and delicious meat again.

After a fierce ideological struggle, the slaves nodded their heads and said, "For the sake of meat, let's hold on to it, we don't want to go back to the days without meat." ”

Afterwards, the young monk found an opportunity to come to Desin's tent and tell him what had happened.

"What? these slaves, they....... It's so unproductive. Di Xin was taken aback, he didn't expect that these slaves were used to being slaves, and their yearning for freedom was better than a loss of meat.

You know, even on the earth, there is a saying that life is precious, love is more valuable, and if it is for freedom, both can be thrown!

I didn't expect that freedom was so worthless in front of the slaves.

"Forget it, you go back first, and we'll talk about this later. Di Xin said disappointedly. He felt that in his life, it seemed like a mistake to abolish slavery. People who are satisfied with the status quo can never be saved no matter how hard others try.

Three days later, the Xiqi side still took the initiative to invite the battle, but Di Xin had no way to retreat, and could only fight.

Although the number of casualties in this battle was less than the previous one, it was even more tragic, and many slaves and soldiers were severely wounded and lost the ability to farm.

After the two sides dismissed, Di Xin prepared good food and wine for the slaves, and then left with a little concern.

This time, however, the slaves did not feast as they had before, but stood still, as if frightened by the ferocity of the battle.

"Woo woo, I don't want to fight for the king anymore, I want to go home. Eventually, a young slave could not bear it anymore, and he collapsed to the ground, whining and crying.

"Don't cry, don't cry. The slave beside him comforted him, "It's over, the battle is over." ”

"Xiao Zhang, if you cry again, we want to cry too. Woowoowoo......"

"Woo woo, be a slave, be a slave, be a slave, never have to fight. Now that the king has regained our free body, we must participate in the war, and face the danger of death, which is terrible. ”

"I lived to be more than seventy years old, and now that I think about it, I have to live happily as a slave! I never had to think about my own safety, I had food to eat, and I had clothes (coarse linen) to wear. Freedom, freedom, why does the king have to give us freedom!"

These slaves are like flowers in a greenhouse, a plain white manuscript paper, they don't understand anything, and they are extremely fragile. After participating in the war, they would cry like a group of children because of injuries and sacrifices.

Their minds are very low, even if they are elderly, and even worse than children of a few years old. Because, once a person has wisdom, he will not give in, and he will not want to lose his freedom.
